Ardenwood Rail Fair/Models and more 2025

This was a great day at Ardenwood. They had so many things to see and do. I consider myself to be a train buff, and I never knew about this Rail Fair, an hour's drive from my house. Crazy how you don't always know all the cool things to do in the Bay Area until you look hard. Here's a history of the Locomotive in the thumbnail. The Kiso Forest Railway No. 9 is a Baldwin 0-4-2RT 6-10 1/3 C91 steam locomotive built in June 1929 in Pennsylvania. It is one of ten locomotives in the last of three total orders built for the Imperial Forestry Bureau of Japan, for use on the Kiso Forest Railway, a 30-inch gauge logging railroad in the Nagano Prefecture in the center of Japan. The locomotive was originally delivered as Kiso Forest No. 17, with simple utility features common on logging railway locomotives of the time, including a bulbous Rushton “cabbage” smokestack, no bell, and a bare-bones control setup. During WWII, the railroad was forced to make many changes to its operations. This included a conversion to wood chips as fuel, which necessitated a larger, custom-designed spark-arresting stack, a larger fuel bunker, and an all-black paint scheme. Most of the other Baldwin locomotives were scrapped for steel, leaving Kiso No. 9 and two others to survive the post-war transition to diesel. This would be short-lived, however, as the railroad would eliminate steam operations entirely in the 1950s.
